Founder, Purcell Ventures LLC · University of Alabama Honors College, Class of 2030 · Acworth, Georgia
I build and ship software end to end: marketplaces, autonomous data pipelines, AI-integrated applications, and the compliance and review systems that keep them honest. Fifteen production deployments to date. Studying psychology and data science on a pre-med track toward psychiatry.

Everything below is built, deployed, and running. Designed, coded, tested, and shipped solo unless noted.
MiddlemanTwo-sided sales marketplace
2026- Architected and shipped a marketplace connecting companies with independent field and phone sales reps, where the platform acts as paying agent and escrows commissions through Stripe.
- Built the compliance spine the business depends on: independent-contractor classification safeguards, per-state geo-gating, e-signed platform agreements, and commission terms frozen at signature so a later offer edit cannot change what a rep is owed.
- 14 database migrations with row-level security; 92 automated tests, including 20 adversarial cases written by an independent reviewer to try to break the money path.
Next.js 16 · TypeScript · Supabase / PostgreSQL · Stripe · Vercel
The LoomAutonomous lead-generation engine
2026- Daily crawler that finds local businesses with no real web presence, researches each one, scores it, and delivers a ranked packet by email at 7:15 AM.
- Currently tracking 97 actionable leads against a $529,675 pipeline, with automatic takedown of expired previews.
- Five production website templates, each with its own typographic and color system, so a prospect sees a real site built for their industry rather than a generic demo.
Python · Google Places API · Supabase · GitHub Actions · Next.js · Resend
Blast StudioGame platform and creator tools
2026- Turned a single browser game into a platform where anyone builds their own version: self-hosted subject cutout, a manual brush editor for fixing masks, a content editor, per-version leaderboards, a public marketplace, and an admin review queue.
- Delivered the iOS build to App Store Connect with no physical test device, which required archiving unsigned and signing at export with an Admin-scoped API key.
- Shipped the full store package: icons, feature graphic, screenshots, listing copy, and a likeness release for the featured subject.
JavaScript · MediaPipe · Vercel Blob · Capacitor (iOS + Android)
ElijahBot OSPersonal knowledge and operations command center
2026- Command center over a 441-node personal knowledge graph: eight stations, command palette with voice input, installable as a PWA, and a briefing emailed every morning at 7:30.
- Nightly job re-ingests the graph, computes a health score, and writes a gaps file identifying what the knowledge base is missing so it can be filled deliberately.
- Paired with a semantic recall layer that serves roughly 200-token chunks across memory, notes, and graph nodes so retrieval stays cheap at scale.
Next.js · TypeScript · Node ingest pipeline · Vercel Cron · Claude API
Boyfriend CameraComputer-vision photography application
2026- Camera app whose live viewfinder runs through a WebGL color-grading shader, so a photo is composed with its final look already applied rather than graded afterward.
- On-device scene analysis reads luminance, color cast, and edge orientation to suggest and place a pose; three.js renders lit 3D mannequin figures in-frame as posing guides.
- Full non-destructive editor: curves, eight-channel HSL, three-way color wheels, radial and linear masks, video grading with audio re-encode, and a local library.
WebGL / GLSL · three.js · MediaPipe · IndexedDB · PWA
Wholesale EngineReal-estate acquisition pipeline
2026- Parses county tax-delinquent PDFs by word coordinates, enriches each parcel against a 279,000-record assessor GIS layer, prices deals by maximum allowable offer, matches against a buyer CRM, and emails a daily packet.
- Encoded ethical exclusions directly into the pipeline: sources whose terms prohibit scraping are refused, and estate-owned parcels are held for human review instead of auto-contacted.
Python · SQLite / Supabase · ArcGIS · pytest · Windows Task Scheduler
Outreach EngineCompliance-gated outreach automation
2026- Multi-campaign outreach system built around a four-tier risk classifier: only the lowest tiers send automatically, sensitive tiers draft for human review, and the highest tier is never drafted at all.
- Hard gates on CAN-SPAM requirements, an append-only suppression list, a fail-closed blocklist, and an automatic sticky hard-stop when bounce rates spike. 22-check safety suite.
Python · Gmail API · JSON policy layer · pytest
Fellowship of the Round3D multiplayer arena game
2026- Round-based arena game with seven playable species carrying distinct ability kits, a 131-card stacking upgrade pool, PvE encounters with taming and climbing, and twelve-player online multiplayer.
- Three maps, movement archetypes tuned per species, and cross-platform builds for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Client work
English Pruitt Photography — Website
Sourced through cold outreach, scoped, and built: a hand-coded editorial portfolio site with a true masonry gallery, film-grain texture, and scroll-reveal motion, with copy written to match the client's own voice rather than generic template language.
2026
Purcell Ventures Digital Division — Small-business tooling
Twenty reusable modules across websites, chatbots, booking, review capture, and lead generation, delivered on a setup-plus-subscription model to local service businesses.

Engineering practice
Adversarial review gates
Every significant build passes through an independent reviewer whose job is to try to break it before release. This gate has caught disqualifying defects that the builder's own verification missed, including unsaved user data lost to an OS tab kill and tests that were claimed but never actually written.
Security auditing
Ran read-only security audits across seven live applications, documenting row-level-security gaps, unauthenticated paid-API routes, stored cross-site scripting, vote forgery through exposed identifiers, and server-side request forgery, each with a severity-ranked remediation list.

AI Data Trainer — Outlier AI
Two projects. Aether: evaluated large language model outputs and authored written rationales assessing accuracy, reasoning quality, and instruction adherence. Straw Tablecloth: wrote realistic spoken-style human-assistant conversations against a fixed tool-call budget, authoring the user turns and editing model responses, iterating prompts until the model stopped over-calling its tools.
Oct 2025 – May 2026
AI Response Evaluator — DataAnnotation
Rated AI responses against a Helpful, Honest, Harmless rubric that ranks honesty and harmlessness above helpfulness. Flagged hallucinated facts, fabricated links, false premises accepted without correction, and incorrect reasoning, alongside assessment of length, repetition, and whether the model answered the question the user actually meant.
